Failed Driving Test

  • My instructor teaches the pass plus and she said she has already covered everything with me other than the motorway. I have already driven in terrible weather (including this recent snow) and through country roads in the dark. i will however look into how it will reduce my insurance but to be honest my insurance isnt too bad anyway due to my age. Will definately look into weather it cam be subsidised. i have no idea how much it costs to start with though?

    My son just passed first time and we are looking at him doing pass plus later this month or Feb. Driving Instructor told us it will cost £150 but Cornwall council will pay half of that. Don't know if its our area or to do with his age (18) but I'll sleep easier . . .
    One life.
  • just checked my council and they no longer pay towards pass plus and even when they did it was young drivers only.
  • New test date is tomorrow and I am nervous!! Please everyone wish me luck/be thinking of me!!
